RUMFORD — ArtVan is scheduled to visit Rumford Public Library several times this summer.
This art-making event is free for River Valley youths and families of all ages.
The van will visit the 56 Rumford Ave. library at 3 p.m. Wednesdays, July 12, 19 and 26, and Aug. 2, 9, 16 and 23.
Established in 2004, ArtVan offers a safe, feedback-oriented environment for ages 3 to 17 and adults who may benefit from strengths-based art therapy. At no cost to families, ArtVan empowers
youth to safely manage emotional expression and engage in the larger community, according to a news release form the library.
Without pursuing mental health diagnoses, ArtVan meets youth as they show up. ArtVan reaches all genders, racial and ethnic identities, and religious backgrounds right in their neighborhoods.
